The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 applies to all drivers operating vehicles with a GVWR of 26,001 lbs. or more, and to vehicles of any size transporting placarded quantities of hazardous materials. Under this Act:
1. No driver may possess more than one driver’s license, and no motor carrier may use a driver who has more than one license.
2. A driver convicted of any traffic violation other than parking, in any type of vehicle, must notify his or her motor carrier, and the state that issued the license, within 30 days.
3. Applicants for commercial driving positions must inform the prospective employer of all employment for the past 10 years if they hold a CDL.
4. A driver whose privilege to operate a commercial vehicle is suspended, revoked, or canceled, or who is disqualified, must notify his or her motor carrier by the end of the next business day.
Violations may result in civil penalties, criminal fines, and/or imprisonment.
I certify that I have read and understand the above provisions. As of this date, I hold only one driver’s license, issued in my name, from one state or country.
